“That’s potentially a dangerous situation and misleading,” says Chartier. “If the government can’t fix the problem, we should at least take the sign down.”

Greg Ottenbreit, Minister of Rural and Remote Health says they are looking at addressing the sign issue very soon, but their main focus has been making sure communities have emergency care readily available .

“It’s an issue that need to be addressed properly,” says Ottenbreit. “Our focus is to provide service to small communities. Of course the sign is very important and reflects what services are available in those communities. But our top-of-mind is to ensure these communities have the services that they do have.”

The province says Craik has had issues recruiting a doctor which is why the health centre remains closed.

They added there is twenty-four hour care availible fifteen minutes away in Davidson.
